Dear Subscriber,

When the New Orleans weather turns toward fall after Labor Day a sojourn in the French Quarter makes perfect sense. Here's why. Chefs coming off of summer hiatus get creative and add robust selections to their fall menus. Our galleries and museums mount new shows; the symphony, theaters and opera launch their new offerings. And as always, the Bourbon Street beat goes on and on. FrenchQuarter.com keeps you up-to-date watching and reporting on the coolest things to do, learn and enjoy in New Orleans' first neighborhood.

Seasoned by Celebrity - Paul Prudhomme, Emeril Legasse and Susan Spicer The French Quarter is home to many celebrity chefs - the high profile kitchen royalty of New Orleans' food scene, with many devoted subjects here in the Crescent City and around the world.

Grown-up Trick or Treating, A Boo-tiful Thing Halloween season in New Orleans has evolved into a social happening to rival some of the city's signature celebrations both in terms of numbers of costumed visitors and in the creative energy devoted to the pursuit of good times.

Streetcar Sense New Orleans' venerable streetcars roll through the historic city, and now the "new" Canal Street Line is back on track after a 40 year absence.

Historic Quarter Architecture Types A keen eye and quick list can unveil the salient patterns of French Quarter building types for the architecture enthusiast.

Best Live Music in the Quarter The live music scene in the French Quarter is a feast with many courses, and one that caters to many different appetites.

Early Mardi Gras Warnings Everyone should witness Mardi Gras in New Orleans at least once in their lives. And whether you're a seasoned reveler or new to the "largest free party in the world" the celebration is so much sweeter if you get practical, and start your planning early.
